 If you "buy" it you may want to "sell" it.May 18, 2005
By Mom Of Many Munchkins
In this volume of Baby's First Impressions they have a woman's voice saying a word and a man's voice says the opposite word. They do this about 3 times for each word and show different things for that opposite pair. Here's a list of the opposite pairs (I don't think I missed any, but it's possible):
open/closed, over/under, up/down, hard/soft, big/small, in/out, on/off, front/back, heavy/light, stand/sit, quiet/loud, hot/cold, sweet/sour, full/empty, wet/dry, boy/girl, come/go, left/right, light/dark, a little/a lot, sunny/rainy, loose/tight, day/night, forward/backward, fast/slow, black/white, right side up/upside down, straight/curved, clean/dirty, short/tall, push/pull, happy/sad, thick/thin, old/new, smooth/rough, far/near, asleep/awake, stop/go, yes/no, hello/goodbye.
Here's two examples of what they say for an opposite pair. For Sweet/Sour they say, "Sweet. Sweet strawberry. Sour. Sour lemon". For Clean/Dirty they say, "Clean. Clean face. Dirty. Dirty face. Clean. Clean hands. Dirty. Dirty hands. Clean. Dirty".
After about every six pairs of opposites they have a review. They'll ask a questions such as, "What's the opposite of over?" Then, of course, they'll show "under".
I feel the same way about "Opposites" as I do about the Baby's First Impressions "Sounds". I think it's kind of a waste of time. I'd say get it at the library and watch it once. I can't imagine buying it and having your child watch it over and over standing up or sitting down (*snicker*....that was my lame attempt to make an opposite joke). Read my other reviews for more childrens videos.
 Great for Language Delayed ChildrenFeb 15, 2006
By P. Palermo

This video is a great visual tool, especially for language delayed children. Children that need a visual tool to learn like my daughter (who is 3 years old) will love this video. A concept that might come easier for a typical child like opposite is much harder on a child with language difficulties. My daughter is verbalizing more and getting the concepts well. The repetition is also a great thing for a child with language delay. I can't tell you how many times we have watch this video. My one year old enjoys the video as well. We got it at the library, but it's a video that I plan to purchase.
